We collaborate closely with startups and scaling OEMs to build smart, user-facing products, offering transparent communication, technical insight, and scalable support from first prototype to final build.
August Electronics offers full-spectrum manufacturing services tailored to connected, user-facing products. Whether you’re building a wellness wearable, a smart home controller, or a lifestyle IoT device, we support every stage of your journey with precision, transparency, and care. Our services include DFM collaboration, PCB and cable assembly, box build integration, and ongoing repair or refurbishment support—all under one roof.
As one of North America’s trusted consumer electronics manufacturers, we specialize in low-to-mid volume builds with the potential to scale. That means no rigid MOQs, no pressure to rush offshore, and no compromises on communication or quality. Instead, you get a manufacturing partner who treats your product like it matters—because it does. With a team that understands the nuance of consumer design, we help you bring beautiful, reliable, and production-ready electronics to market faster.
OUR CAPABILITIES
We support seamless mechanical integration of customer-supplied or partner-sourced enclosures, ensuring your product looks polished, feels premium, and performs reliably in real-world conditions.
We help you validate and refine your design through pilot builds and small-scale runs, setting the stage for efficient scaling. Our process ensures your prototype transitions smoothly into full production, without costly surprises.
Our team is experienced in assembling products that rely on wireless protocols like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and cellular. We maintain design integrity and signal reliability throughout assembly and testing, which is critical for connected smart home devices and other next-gen technologies.
We understand what it takes to meet consumer-facing compliance standards. From CE to Health Canada to UL, we help prepare your build and documentation to align with the certifications your product needs.
MANUFACTURING PROCESS
We start with a conversation to understand your product, business goals, and technical needs, so we can align early and build the right foundation.
You provide design files (Gerber, BOM, ODB++, STEP files, etc.), specifications, and compliance requirements. Our team assesses production readiness and flags any gaps that could slow things down later.
We work with you to define success, including target volumes, timelines, packaging needs, and whether services like repair or refurbishment will be needed over time.
We deliver a detailed quote outlining materials, labor, lead times, and NREs (if applicable), giving you everything you need to make an informed decision.
Once approved, we assign a dedicated Project or Account Manager to oversee your build, set up communication protocols, and initiate internal planning.
A small-scale run is produced to test your design under real-world conditions. This ensures we validate form, fit, and function before scaling to full production.
After your prototype is built, our team provides collaborative DFM recommendations to improve assembly efficiency, reduce BOM costs, and streamline scaling. This feedback helps ensure your product is optimized for repeatable, high-quality production.
Before scaling, we revisit the pilot build with your team to align on technical performance, business goals, and next steps. This collaborative review—often involving both sales and our process teams—acts as a checkpoint, refining the design, confirming readiness, and ensuring both teams are confident in the move to full production.
With DFM updates in place and alignment confirmed, we begin sourcing components, finalize timelines, and schedule your build, providing full transparency and milestone tracking throughout.
Your product is assembled, tested, and inspected at our Calgary facility under ISO 9001 and ISO 13485-certified systems, ensuring full traceability, quality, and compliance every step of the way.
We handle any required enclosure integration, labeling, branding, and packaging—then ship to your fulfillment partner, distribution center, or wherever your product needs to go.
After launch, we support warranty returns, demo unit recovery, and product lifecycle management through flexible repair and refurbishment services.

WHY AUGUST ELECTRONICS
We make it easy to stay in the loop. With consistent updates, milestone tracking, and dedicated project managers, you’ll always know where your build stands—no chasing required.
Our NPI processes are designed to help you confidently move from prototype to production. We lay the groundwork early so your product is ready to grow when demand picks up.
We operate under ISO 9001 and ISO 13485-certified systems, with rigorous QA protocols that ensure every unit meets your performance and compliance standards across regulated sectors like automotive, aerospace, and telecommunications.
Your product is built in a secure, audited facility, giving you greater control over IP, quality, and timelines than offshore options.
Our rigorous testing strategies eliminate risks and ensure your product’s reliability. All consumer electronics undergo dielectric testing, functional testing, and AQL inspections to verify safety and functionality.

Yes. We specialize in bridging the gap between new product design and scalable production. Whether you have a working prototype or are preparing for a pilot run, we’ll guide you through DFM, sourcing, testing, and volume planning.
We don’t have rigid MOQs. Instead, we assess each project based on fit, complexity, and growth potential. We often support low-to-mid volumes for NPI and scale as your demand increases—ideal for emerging companies bringing innovations to consumers.
Yes—low-to-mid volume production is our sweet spot. We’re built to support early-stage and scaling companies that need reliable, high-quality builds without jumping straight to offshore-level quantities, supporting smart, sustainable growth. Whether it’s a pilot run or steady demand in the hundreds to low thousands, we’ve got you covered.
Yes. We offer box build, labeling, and packaging services, and can ship to your distribution center, fulfillment partner, or wherever your product needs to go. Our end-to-end services help reduce friction and enhance speed to retail or direct-to-consumers.
We do not manufacture enclosures in-house, but we regularly work with customer-supplied or partner-sourced enclosures. Our team can recommend trusted suppliers and support full system integration, especially for well-designed, user-facing devices like smart home controllers, wellness wearables, or connected appliances.
Every build has a tailored inspection plan and quality control, which may include visual inspection, AOI, in-circuit testing (ICT), functional testing, and custom test procedures if provided. We tailor testing to your category, whether you’re building connected devices, health-focused wearables, or medical devices.
Yes. We’re experienced in supporting compliance for consumer electronics products and can help prepare builds and documentation to align with CE, Health Canada, and other relevant regulatory standards.
